Everyday that passes we're aging
Focused on the things that we can and can't control
Looking to the skies and we're praying
Hoping that somebody can save us before we go
Fading but don't look in the light
We're seeking but don't tell us the time
They keep talking we don't care
Cause nobody knows, nobody knows when you'll go

We've Got Time

The clocks ticking like Alyson in a Missy vid
Pulling strings got callouses on my fingertips
We been making progress in larger increments
Stretch thinner than women's distressed denim
Went Into the Spiderverse I'm seeing myself in duplicates
Every universe is stuck inside a movie script
The end is near and its screaming louder than Ludacris
Is the message the problem or the acoustics
We been building a following that includes this
Way of thinking that only praises improvement
They'll tell you Rome wasn't built in a day/But I'm on my third story today, you've got time/
We put the time in, you reaped the benefits
Then you went silent on us, we didn't mention it
This penmanship kept me clear of life sentences
My side hustles keep me everywhere the funding is
We gotta heist to pull off so is you coming with
Budgets bigger than Ross before the crossfit
I can see the fear in they eyes right when we walk in
The head honcho's the reason that we got called in
Plus you been skimming off the top like a bald head
These board rooms are no different than a gauntlet
So my position is to keep us fed/So if that check cant come in advance dont let em waste your time

Sounds of the city

Came out the gutters and alleyways
Buildings as tall as the Palisades
Ducking through traffic the city's my passion
Dreams like Aladdin to live in the palace
I circle the block like a spin move
It ain't a spot I ain't been to
We ain't the type to befriend you
Based on the trauma we been through
Shots ringing like a drumline
Fire hydrant yelling cease fire
Food desert on the east side
City funding gave the peace sign
This is America
This is America
Concrete over trees
Sometimes I lay in the street just to hear all the
Streets talk we ain't heard of ya
We can tell how you worded it
From Art show to the House show
Uber route like the Dow Jones
Racism in ya dress code
Thai place and a whole foods
Why every black person that I know this side of town they ain't been to
Its all by design
We look at the sky for hero's and signs
Poverty stricken they moving the lines
Throw me a glove I'm catching the vibe
Catching a what?
I'm catching the vibe
Same as before
Same as the time they ain't wanna be near us so they started jacking the price/You can hear it if you listening right its a

Cultural Plan
01:16
|

Where do you see yourself in 5 years
Do you think you can retire here
Explain the problems that you face in your career in detail so we can step in and then make em disappear
The city's getting so much smaller by the day
We all just tryna keep some food up on our plate
Not much in common but we in a commonplace
Commonwealth isn't normal niggas dying everyday

The Great Potential
03:15

You know they tryna sell you ass some potential
You know the type to clap for the crescendo
She had dreams of the bags in the window
She in club shaking ass and her elbows
Running from problems that ain't never been told
This prolly the biggest lead that has ever been blown
Waiting on a trust fund when you turn 25
Spend it all by 29
Parents did everything they could to provide
Never got to teach you when the water runs dry
We watched the whole world pass us by
Making the biggest mistake of our lives
How many times 10 years turned to tempers
How many times they passed on your tenure
Lesson learned bridges burned cause of hindsight
All summer looking for the truth in a Rheingeist
Cold world and she'll do it for a Klondike
Who predicted our obsession with the limelight
You predicting ya success up on ya timeline
No they wanting you to fail for the 5th time
The numbers game don't benefit the little guy
Even Hov had to make his own Spotify
So ya try to fix the game like Tool Time
3 kids now ya dreams sitting ringside
Every Wilson will say they got the answers
Spreading uninformed takes like cancer
The next up cant fully take advantage
Another leadership class with a pamphlet
Another meeting quibbling over semantics
Fill your board up another Samantha
Nobody really understands what it symbolize
And you cant say a thing if you want a job
How many times you don went and did the research
Only to find it was never bout the research

My People

My people hold on
My people stay strong
Look at my people how far we don came
Came across the water enslaved and in chains
Fighting through systems inspiring change
Frankie Beverly the joy and the pain
Nobody wants you but everyone's watching
Your hair and your words and your music it's awkward
Everything looks like the thing they're afraid of
Somehow we still getting killed and get locked up for shit you commercialize
Commercial buildings taking over the hood in my city
Who the fuck here can afford in their 20's
Some two grand a month with no grocery store near me
They boxing us in they boxing us out
Whichever benefits someone's account
And through all confusion we hustle it out

I AM
WE ARE
WE WILL
OK
I am the genuine article
Ear to the streets I'm an auricle
Grew up on Jordans and Nautica
We had no choice but to audible
The system is broken but never more broke than our pockets
They left us to die here alone
That's why we glow up get money take care of our mommas
And lace all our niggas in gold
Ok ok ok we are the future
We lost too many homies
We pay homage in music
She got skin like Issa Rae
She got hair like Medusa
Protect her with my life so watch your mouth if you stupid
The stories from this concrete is where I get energy from
They don't like me cause of what you pretend to be
Built different
From where they been pulling triggers
Gon make it to six figures
They been telling you different you
I AM
WE ARE
WE WILL
OK
I am a gem formed by great pressure
Spell out my name like the state letters
Pulled up on ya back in twenty seven
Teen and I took it to higher levels
Blue Collar is the mantra nigga
My aesthetics don't wander nigga
Came up in the Boogie Nights like DeMarcus gon be starting nigga
Don't be afraid to go stand with the people
How you supposed to have the information, if they don't ever try to reach you
You talk different when you entertaining, you be thinking we don't see you
I ain't ya black liaison, the ratios looking feeble
You waiting on Knight like a super villain
Imma hustle till we equal
Never let em have you second guessing cause they'll never say that they need you
Show me the cap and I'll show you the head it should rest on
And when I'm gone put this on a Glendale tombstone
I AM
WE ARE
WE WILL
OK

Time is relative
Our relationship is slowly developing
That's why most of my seconds I'm selfish with
I'm Shaqs Jersey number on the Magic and headed to Scottie Pippens
Patience thinner than thighs on Kendal Jenner
I'm looking for right now later on is Fabolous of course
They say the waiting makes us all appreciate it more
Set the plan in motion then we deviate before
Any progress is documented the cycle is important to master
I seen a wino and I asked him
Where's the point where I should throw my drink in the trash
He said what's the point of living if that's ya question to ask
Barkeep pour another then close out my tab
My whole adult I been known by a name cause I rap and I never wanna turn into my dad
All the women that raised me just compared me to that
So I made my own world and I never came back
Then the resentment grew cause I chose a new path
Contemplating not helping when they lower ya casket
Everyday that passes we just ducking the rapture
And tryna get the answer right the first time on the captcha
Only thing that's promised to us is death and then taxes
Praying for after life and that we not outta practice
This could be ya last age so go grab the controls
Cause nobody knows..
